METS-S/NETS-T
NET-S 1.b. Create original works as a means of personal or group expression
Essential Questions:
What type of exercise equipment could I integrate into my workout?
Why is it important to incorporate exercise into my life?
Objectives:
Using a video camera, in groups of three students will write a script of their words and actions and perform this original fitness video containing at least five aerobic activities.
Tools and Resources:
Exercise equipment: exercise ball, resistance bands, kettlebell, shake weight, hand weight, jump rope, medicine ball, hula hoop, yoga mat
Students need to not only understand why it is important to incorporate exercise into their lives, but how to do so.
Sequence of Activities:
Anticipatory Questions/Activity:
In small groups, students will explore the uses of various small exercise equipment, such as a resistance band, jump rope and exercise ball.
Allow 20 minutes for this activity.
Body of Lesson Plan: Segment #1
(Artifact: link to real world, website, book, picture, etc.)
Students will watch an abbreviated version of the DVD Tae Bo Live! This workout video models the three distinct parts of the workout: the warm up, cardio, and cool down.
Segment #2
(Factual information/Vocab
Includes sample feedback loop)
Teacher: What is the purpose of warming up before exercising?
Student: Answers will vary. Possible answers include: a warm up slowly prepares your body for exercising. It increases your heart rate. It increases the blood flow in your circulatory system. It mentally prepares you for your workout by clearing and focusing your mind.
Teacher: What is the purpose of cooling down after exercising?
Student: Answers will vary: Possible answers include: Cooling down will slowly reduce your muscle and body temperature. It can reduce your risk for muscle injury, stiffness or soreness.
Teacher: How do the warm up and cool down parts of a workout differ from the cardio?
Student: They are done at a slower pace and at a reduced intensity.
In groups of three, students will be performing a workout video. Another peer will be the camcorder operator. For detailed explanation see Segment #4 and Student Sample.
Segment #4
(Detailed directions on how to complete activity)
1. Begin anticipatory activity. Show students the variety of exercise equiptment teacher brought to class. Encourage students to try all of the pieces out and have fun with them. Tell students that these pieces can be incorporated into their workout video if they so choose.
2. Begin Segment #1. Teacher tells class that they will be watching the workout video Tae Bo Live! Explain to them that this video has three distinct parts: a warm up, cardio, and cool down.
3. Play the part of the video that contains the warm up. Stop the DVD when the warm up is complete.
4. Begin Segment #2. Ask the class why they think it is important to warm up before exercising. Call on a few students randomly to answer. Possible answers include: a warm up slowly prepares your body for exercising. It increases your heart rate. It increases the blood flow in your circulatory system. It mentally prepares you for your workout by clearing and focusing your mind.
5. Play the part of the video that contains the cardio. Stop he DVD when the cardio is complete. Explain that this is the most intense part of the workout where most of the calories are burned.
6. Play the part of the video that contains the cool down. Stop the DVD when the cool down is complete.
7. Ask the students what they think purpose of a cool down is. Call on a few students at random to answer. Possible answers include: Cooling down will slowly reduce your muscle and body temperature. It can reduce your risk for muscle injury, stiffness or soreness.
8. Ask students what they noticed about the difference between the warm up/cool down segments and the cardio. Call on a few students randomly to answer.
9. Using the class computer, play for the students the teacher sample workout video. Point out how it incorporated the three parts of an effective workout. Tell students that a requirement of their video is that it must contain all three segments.
10. Assign small groups of 3 students to work together to complete their own work out video.
11. Tell students that they will need to write a brief script of what they will be saying and doing in their video. Model it after the way the teacher narrated hers. This will be turned into the teacher.
12. Designate time for students to get into groups and brainstorm ideas for their workout video. At this time they will be writing their script.
13. Encourage students, within their group, to each take a turn speaking and leading the exercise video.
14. Distribute a video camera to each group.
15. Allow students to use an empty classroom or gymnasium to record their videos. Tell them that they will have to cooperate with other groups to video record each other.
16. Upon completion, students will post their videos to the class YouTube account.
